But however impulsive it may have been I am now the proud owner of a new Specialized Allez Sport Triple.

Pretty darn exciting. So I have been telling people for a long while now that I wanted to get into cycling. I guess this makes it official. Now I have to get in shape. I decided to take it for a short spin after I brought it home, and I can say that I have some serious work ahead of me. I think that once the semester is over, I will ride every day to work, but before I let it become my major mode of transport, I really need to get my lungs and heart back into working. It appears that the last year or so have really taken a toll on my fitness. Though my brain can write some pretty impressive code, and my fingers can fly over the keyboard, my legs can't quite make the bike go as fast as I would hope.

Just to throw in a quick plug for the folks at Bingham Cyclery. They were knowledgeable, professional, and friendly.
